Aero Frame ID
Picked this up today...not sure what to make of it. It has aero stays, seat and down tubes. It measures 60cm c-c(not sure how the extra seat tube factors). Sorry about the pics, I'll take better ones when I get it stripped down.

700s on it in the pic, not sure if it had a different fork at some point, not sure the geometry would work with a 650 front? This is an odd bird to me, I'm new to this aero scene!

No, I think it's similar to KHS geometry, but it has aero tubing in the seatstays(after another look, the chainstays are normal) and tubes. The seatpost is huge! the seat tube only goes aero below the top tube.

I just found that the rear drops have RITCHEY in script similar to the stems engraved in them?

Bikes: Crap. The box is not big enough...
lots of smaller builders and some bigger guys used (still do?) ritchey dropouts...I think that this is a smaller US builder, but cannot find any information concerning him or her.

Here's a photo of the drop and the curved chainstay. Sorry for the photo quality, I need daylight to get better.
